Forests in Metropolitan France

“the very most of those forests are not natural but grown for exploitation and planted with non-local species.

They have a low biodiversity, and low resilience to climate change. The last ten years heat waves are killing significative portions of those forests. That would not happen on such a scale with natural grown and balanced forests. Also real natural and ancient forest (with local species) would keep its moisture in summer and avoid fires, as well as keeping a very high biodiversity level.

Those are poor and sad forests, and now that i am a bit aware of this, i cant be enthousiastic at all with an only quantitative approch of forests and nature”–SGarnier
